Announcement on School Funding

Governor Wolfe did not sign, but allowed HB1589 to become law. This bill, while 9 months late, will increase funding to Pennsylvania Schools. The funding will be distributed via a plan developed by the Basic Education Funding Commission.

This time last year, the school board was able to vote on their budget for the upcoming year. This year, the budget process has been delayed due to the ongoing dysfunction in Harrisburg.
